204DTA 2.0 Ingenium Diesel Engine for Sale
The 204DTA is the twin-turbo version of JLR's 2.0 Ingenium diesel, fitted to higher-output Evoque and Discovery Sport variants. Like all Ingenium units it is sensitive to timing-chain wear and oil dilution — both addressed directly in our rebuilds, which carry a 12-month / 12,000-mile parts-and-labour warranty.
Which Vehicles Use the 204DTA
Variants differ by year and model — we confirm the exact variant from your reg before quoting.

Known 204DTA Failure Modes
Timing chain stretch
A rattle at cold start is the classic Ingenium warning. A chain that jumps can destroy the engine.
Read the Ingenium guide →Oil dilution
Short-journey use dilutes the oil with fuel and accelerates wear.
Read the Ingenium guide →Crankshaft wear
Neglected chain or oil issues lead to bottom-end damage on higher-mileage units.

204DTA Questions
How much does a replacement 204DTA engine cost, fitted?
Fitted at our workshop, a low-mileage used 204DTA typically runs £1,000–£2,500, a reconditioned unit £2,500–£5,000, and a full rebuild of your own engine £2,000–£5,000. The exact figure depends on the variant and what the strip-down reveals. All our prices include VAT (GB 502 3788 04). Enter your reg above for a fixed written quote.
Do you supply the 204DTA on its own?
No. Every engine we supply is fitted by us, at our own workshop in Grays, Essex. That is deliberate: one party is then responsible for both the engine and the fitting, which is what makes the warranty worth having. If you cannot get to us, we can collect your vehicle and deliver it back.
What warranty comes with a 204DTA?
12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first — parts and labour, in writing. Servicing can be done by us or by any established professional garage; you are not required to come back to us.
What's the difference between the 204DTD and 204DTA?
Both are 2.0 Ingenium diesels; the 204DTA is the twin-turbo, higher-output version. Give us your reg and we'll confirm which you have.
Do your rebuilds fit a new timing chain?
Yes — new chain, guides and tensioner as standard on every Ingenium rebuild.
What a Fitted 204DTA Includes
Every 204DTA we supply is fitted by us at our Grays, Essex workshop — never sold loose. Your price covers the whole job:
- The engine — reconditioned, tested low-mileage used, or your own unit rebuilt, matched to your exact variant
- Removal & fitting — the old engine out, the replacement in, by JLR specialists
- Fluids, filters & adaptation — the parts and coding the job actually needs, not billed as extras
- A documented road test — before the car comes back to you
- 12 months / 12,000 miles, parts & labour — one warranty covering the engine and the workmanship
Turnaround depends on the engine — see the lead times in the options above. VAT is included in every price.
Not local to Essex? It makes no difference to the engine or the warranty. We collect your vehicle, fit the 204DTA here, and return it — wherever you are in the UK. Here's how nationwide collection & delivery works.
